Herpes simplex virus (HSV) induces within the host cell genome DNA amplification which can be suppressed by coinfection with adeno-associated virus (AAV). To characterize the AAV functions mediating this effect, cloned AAV type 2 wild-type or mutant genomes were transfected into simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed hamster cells together with the six HSV replication genes (encoding UL5, UL8, major DNA-binding protein, DNA polymerase, UL42, and UL52) which together are necessary and sufficient for the induction of SV40 DNA amplification (R. Heilbronn and H. zur Hausen, J. Virol. 63:3683-3692, 1989). The AAV rep gene was identified as being responsible for the complete inhibition of HSV-induced SV40 DNA amplification. Likewise, rep inhibited origin-dependent HSV replication. rep neither killed the transfected host cells nor interfered with gene expression from the cotransfected amplification genes. This points to a specific interference with HSV-induced DNA amplification.  相似文献

Herpesviruses are helper viruses for productive adeno-associated virus (AAV) replication. To analyze the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) functions mediating helper activity, we coinfected HeLa cells with AAV type 2 (AAV-2) and different HSV-1 mutants defective in individual HSV replication genes. AAV replication was fully accomplished in the absence of HSV DNA replication and thus did not require expression of late HSV genes. In addition, HSV mutants lacking either the origin-binding protein or the functional DNA polymerase fully maintained the capacity to replicate AAV. Cotransfection of the cloned, replication-competent AAV-2 genome together with the seven HSV replication genes (UL5, UL8, UL9, UL29, UL30, UL42, and UL52) led to productive AAV replication. Cotransfections with different combinations of these genes demonstrated that a subset of four of them, coding for the HSV helicase-primase complex (UL5, UL8, UL52) and the major DNA-binding protein (UL29), was already sufficient to mediate the helper effect. Thus, the HSV helper activity for productive AAV replication seems to consist of DNA replication functions. This appears to be different from the helper effect provided by adenovirus, which predominantly modulates AAV gene regulation.  相似文献

Protein blotting: principles and applications   总被引:70,自引:0,他引:70  
Extensive studies on the DNA tumor virus Simian Virus 40 (SV40) have provided a wealth of information regarding the genome organization, regulation of viral gene expression, and the mechanism of DNA replication. SV40 can grow lytically in permissive monkey cells or the viral DNA can integrate into the host genome of nonpermissive rodent cells causing morphological transformation. The viral DNA exists as a minichromosome within the nuclei of lytically infected cells and, as a consequence of DNA replication, there is a significant amplification of the viral genome during infection. These properties suggested that SV40 could be developed as a transducing vector to introduce exogenous DNA into mammalian cells and to express this foreign DNA during the SV40 infectious cycle. In this article the properties of SV40 virus vectors and SV40 hybrid plasmid vectors are described and contrasted.  相似文献

The small genome of polyomaviruses encodes a limited number of proteins that are highly dependent on interactions with host cell proteins for efficient viral replication. The SV40 large T antigen (LT) contains several discrete functional domains including the LXCXE or RB-binding motif, the DNA binding and helicase domains that contribute to the viral life cycle. In addition, the LT C-terminal region contains the host range and adenovirus helper functions required for lytic infection in certain restrictive cell types. To understand how LT affects the host cell to facilitate viral replication, we expressed full-length or functional domains of LT in cells, identified interacting host proteins and carried out expression profiling. LT perturbed the expression of p53 target genes and subsets of cell-cycle dependent genes regulated by the DREAM and the B-Myb-MuvB complexes. Affinity purification of LT followed by mass spectrometry revealed a specific interaction between the LT C-terminal region and FAM111A, a previously uncharacterized protein. Depletion of FAM111A recapitulated the effects of heterologous expression of the LT C-terminal region, including increased viral gene expression and lytic infection of SV40 host range mutants and adenovirus replication in restrictive cells. FAM111A functions as a host range restriction factor that is specifically targeted by SV40 LT.  相似文献

A subset of DNA replication proteins of herpes simplex virus (HSV) comprising the single-strand DNA-binding protein, ICP8 (UL29), and the helicase-primase complex (UL5, UL8, and UL52 proteins) has previously been shown to be sufficient for the replication of adeno-associated virus (AAV). We recently demonstrated complex formation between ICP8, AAV Rep78, and the single-stranded DNA AAV genome, both in vitro and in the nuclear HSV replication domains of coinfected cells. In this study the functional role(s) of HSV helicase and primase during AAV DNA replication were analyzed. To differentiate between their necessity as structural components of the HSV replication complex or as active enzymes, point mutations within the helicase and primase catalytic domains were analyzed. In two complementary approaches the remaining HSV helper functions were either provided by infection with HSV mutants or by plasmid transfection. We show here that upon cotransfection of the minimal four HSV proteins (i.e., the four proteins constituting the minimal requirements for basal AAV replication), UL52 primase catalytic activity was not required for AAV DNA replication. In contrast, UL5 helicase activity was necessary for fully efficient replication. Confocal microscopy confirmed that all mutants retained the ability to support formation of ICP8-positive nuclear replication foci, to which AAV Rep78 colocalized in a manner strictly dependent on the presence of AAV single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The data indicate that recruitment of AAV Rep78 and ssDNA to nuclear replication sites by the four HSV helper proteins is maintained in the absence of catalytic primase or helicase activities and suggest an involvement of the HSV UL5 helicase activity during AAV DNA replication.  相似文献

Cytomegalovirus gene UL114, a homolog of mammalian uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG), is required for efficient viral DNA replication. In quiescent fibroblasts, UNG mutant virus replication is delayed for 48 h and follows the virus-induced expression of cellular UNG. In contrast, mutant virus replication proceeds without delay in actively growing fibroblasts that express host cell UNG. In the absence of viral or host cell UNG expression, mutant virus fails to proceed to late-phase DNA replication, characterized by rapid DNA amplification. The data suggest that uracil incorporated early during wild-type viral DNA replication must be removed by virus or host UNG prior to late-phase amplification and encapsidation into progeny virions. The process of uracil incorporation and excision may introduce strand breaks to facilitate the transition from early-phase replication to late-phase amplification.  相似文献

Productive infection by adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) requires coinfection with a helper virus, e.g., adenovirus or herpesviruses. In the case of adenovirus coinfection, the replication machinery of the host cell performs AAV DNA replication. In contrast, it has been proposed that the herpesvirus replication machinery might replicate AAV DNA. To investigate this question, we have attempted to reconstitute AAV DNA replication in vitro using purified herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication proteins. We show that the HSV-1 UL5, UL8, UL29, UL30, UL42, and UL52 gene products along with the AAV Rep68 protein are sufficient to initiate replication on duplex DNA containing the AAV origins of replication, resulting in products several hundred nucleotides in length. Initiation can occur also on templates containing only a Rep binding site and a terminal resolution site. We further demonstrate that initiation of DNA synthesis can take place with a subset of these factors: Rep68 and the UL29, UL30, and UL42 gene products. Since the HSV polymerase and its accessory factor (the products of the UL30 and UL42 genes) are unable to efficiently perform synthesis by strand displacement, it is likely that in addition to creating a hairpin primer, the AAV Rep protein also acts as a helicase for DNA synthesis. The single-strand DNA binding protein (the UL29 gene product) presumably prevents reannealing of complementary strands. These results suggest that AAV can use the HSV replication apparatus to replicate its DNA. In addition, they may provide a first step for the development of a fully reconstituted AAV replication assay.  相似文献

Although the mechanism of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication has been extensively investigated with cell extracts, viral DNA replication in productively infected cells utilizes additional viral and host functions whose interplay remains poorly understood. We show here that in SV40-infected primate cells, the activated ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) damage-signaling kinase, gamma-H2AX, and Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) assemble with T antigen and other viral DNA replication proteins in large nuclear foci. During infection, steady-state levels of MRN subunits decline, although the corresponding mRNA levels remain unchanged. A proteasome inhibitor stabilizes the MRN complex, suggesting that MRN may undergo proteasome-dependent degradation. Analysis of mutant T antigens with disrupted binding to the ubiquitin ligase CUL7 revealed that MRN subunits are stable in cells infected with mutant virus or transfected with mutant viral DNA, implicating CUL7 association with T antigen in MRN proteolysis. The mutant genomes produce fewer virus progeny than the wild type, suggesting that T antigen-CUL7-directed proteolysis facilitates virus propagation. Use of a specific ATM kinase inhibitor showed that ATM kinase signaling is a prerequisite for proteasome-dependent degradation of MRN subunits as well as for the localization of T antigen and damage-signaling proteins to viral replication foci and optimal viral DNA replication. Taken together, the results indicate that SV40 infection manipulates host DNA damage-signaling to reprogram the cell for viral replication, perhaps through mechanisms related to host recovery from DNA damage.  相似文献

Ad2(+)ND(1), a nondefective adenovirus 2 (Ad2)-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid virus, has been previously shown to contain a small segment of the SV40 genome covalently linked to Ad2 deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The SV40 portion of this hybrid virus has been characterized by relating the SV40-specific ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequences transcribed from the Ad2(+)ND(1) DNA to those transcribed from the DNA of SV40 itself. RNA-DNA hybridization-competition studies indicate that the SV40 component of Ad2(+)ND(1) consists of some, but not all, of that part of the SV40 genome which is transcribed early, i.e., prior to viral DNA replication, in SV40 lytic infection.  相似文献

Seven lines derived from primary African green monkey kidney cells, which had survived lytic infection by wild-type simian virus 40 (SV40) or temperature-sensitive mutants belonging to the A and B complementation groups, were established. These cultures synthesize SV40 tumor (T) antigen constitutively and have been passaged more than 60 times in vitro. The cells released small amounts of virus even at high passage levels but eventually became negative for the spontaneous release of virus. Virus rescued from such "nonproducer" cells by the transfection technique exhibited the growth properties of the original inoculum virus. Four of the cell lines were tested for the presence of altered growth patterns commonly associated with SV40-induced transformation. Although each of the cell lines was greater than 99% positive for T antigen, none of the cultures could be distinguished from primary or stable lines of normal simian cells on the basis of morphology, saturation density in high or low serum concentrations, colony formation on plastic or in soft agar, hexose transport, or concanavalin A agglutinability. However, the cells could be distinguished from the parental green monkey kidney cells by a prolonged life span, the presence of T antigen, a resistance to the replication of superinfecting SV40 virus or SV40 viral DNA, and, with three of the four lines, an ability to complement the growth of human adenovirus type 7. These properties were expressed independent of the temperature of incubation. These results indicate that the presence of an immunologically reactive SV40 T antigen is not sufficient to ensure induction of phenotypic transformation and suggest that a specific interaction between viral and cellular genes and/or gene products may be a necessary requirement.  相似文献

A comparative study of simian virus 40 (SV40) lytic infection in three different monkey cell lines is described. The results demonstrate that viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and infectious virus production begin some 10 to 20 hr earlier in CV-1 cells and primary African green monkey kidney (AGMK) cells than in BSC-1 cells. Induction of cellular DNA synthesis by SV40 was observed in CV-1 and AGMK cells but not with BSC-1 cells. Excision of large molecular weight cellular DNA to smaller fragments was easily detectable late in infection of AGMK cells. Little or no excision was observed at comparable times after infection of CV-1 and BSC-1 cells. The different kinds of responses of these three monkey cell lines during SV40 lytic infection suggest the involvement of cellular functions in the virus-directed induction of cellular DNA synthesis and the excision of this DNA from the genome.  相似文献

Herpes simplex virus induces the replication of foreign DNA.   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
Plasmids containing the simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication origin and the large T gene are replicated efficiently in Vero monkey cells but not in rabbit skin cells. Efficient replication of the plasmids was observed in rabbit skin cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2. The HSV-induced replication required the large T antigen and the SV40 replication origin. However, it produced concatemeric molecules resembling replicative intermediates of HSV DNA and was sensitive to phosphonoacetate at concentrations known to inhibit the HSV DNA polymerase. Therefore, it involved the HSV DNA polymerase itself or a viral gene product(s) which was expressed following the replication of HSV DNA. Analyses of test plasmids lacking SV40 or HSV DNA sequences showed that, under some conditions, HSV also induced low-level replication of test plasmids containing no known eucaryotic replication origins. Together, these results show that HSV induces a DNA replicative activity which amplifies foreign DNA. The relevance of these findings to the putative transforming potential of HSV is discussed.  相似文献

Monkey cell lines have been transformed with a mixture of plasmids pSV2neo and pSLVa232N, a derivative of plasmid pSLVa232 (Portela et al., 1985b). Plasmid pSLVa232N contained the influenza virus genes encoding non-structural proteins under the control of the SV40 late promoter in pSLts1 vector that includes the SV40 ori and the tsA209 T-antigen gene. At restrictive temperature, plasmid sequences remained stably integrated in the cell genome, but upon temperature shift-down, defined circular DNA molecules were generated and amplified up to 2000-5000 copies/cell. Restriction analysis, Southern blot hybridization and partial sequencing indicate that one such episome, pC5, was derived from the integrated plasmid sequences by a homologous recombination event that led to deletion of the pBR322 sequences included in pSLVa232N. Concomitant with gene amplification, an induction of 20-65-fold in the expression of NS1 and NS2 proteins was observed after temperature shift-down. Thus, gene cloning into vector pSLts1 and transformation at restrictive temperature of cells permissive for SV40 DNA replication, appears to be a useful strategy for the controlled amplification and expression of cloned genes.  相似文献

The synthesis of closed circular simian virus 40 (SV40) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) containing sequences homologous to host cell DNA depends upon the conditions under which the cells are infected. When BS-C-1 monkey cells were infected with non-plaque-purified virus at low multiplicity of infection [MOI, 0.032 plaque-forming units (PFU)/cell], little, if any, of the SV40 DNA extracted from the infected cells hybridized to host DNA; but when increasingly higher multiplicities were used (in the range 0.16 to 3,000 PFU/cell), an increasingly greater amount of the extracted SV40 DNA hybridized to host DNA. The same effect was observed when the closed circular SV40 DNA was extracted from purified virions (grown at low and high MOI) rather than from the infected cell complex. When the cells were infected at high MOI with plaque-purified virus (11 viral clones were tested), none of the SV40 DNA extracted from the cells hybridized detectably with host cell DNA. However, plaque-purified virus that was serially passaged, undiluted, induced the synthesis of virus DNA which again showed extensive homology to host DNA. It is suggested that, under certain circumstances, recombination occurs between viral and host DNA during lytic infection which results in the incorporation of host DNA sequences into closed circular SV40 DNA.  相似文献

Epstein Barr virus (EBV), like other oncogenic viruses, modulates the activity of cellular DNA damage responses (DDR) during its life cycle. Our aim was to characterize the role of early lytic proteins and viral lytic DNA replication in activation of DNA damage signaling during the EBV lytic cycle. Our data challenge the prevalent hypothesis that activation of DDR pathways during the EBV lytic cycle occurs solely in response to large amounts of exogenous double stranded DNA products generated during lytic viral DNA replication. In immunofluorescence or immunoblot assays, DDR activation markers, specifically phosphorylated ATM (pATM), H2AX (γH2AX), or 53BP1 (p53BP1), were induced in the presence or absence of viral DNA amplification or replication compartments during the EBV lytic cycle. In assays with an ATM inhibitor and DNA damaging reagents in Burkitt lymphoma cell lines, γH2AX induction was necessary for optimal expression of early EBV genes, but not sufficient for lytic reactivation. Studies in lytically reactivated EBV-positive cells in which early EBV proteins, BGLF4, BGLF5, or BALF2, were not expressed showed that these proteins were not necessary for DDR activation during the EBV lytic cycle. Expression of ZEBRA, a viral protein that is necessary for EBV entry into the lytic phase, induced pATM foci and γH2AX independent of other EBV gene products. ZEBRA mutants deficient in DNA binding, Z(R183E) and Z(S186E), did not induce foci of pATM. ZEBRA co-localized with HP1β, a heterochromatin associated protein involved in DNA damage signaling. We propose a model of DDR activation during the EBV lytic cycle in which ZEBRA induces ATM kinase phosphorylation, in a DNA binding dependent manner, to modulate gene expression. ATM and H2AX phosphorylation induced prior to EBV replication may be critical for creating a microenvironment of viral and cellular gene expression that enables lytic cycle progression.  相似文献

We have analyzed T antigens produced by a set of simian virus 40 (SV40) A gene deletion mutants for ATPase activity and for binding to the SV40 origin of DNA replication. Virus stocks of nonviable SV40 A gene deletion mutants were established in SV40-transformed monkey COS cells. Mutant T antigens were produced in mutant virus-infected CV1 cells. The structures of the mutant T antigens were characterized by immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies directed against distinct regions of the T-antigen molecule. T antigens in crude extracts prepared from cells infected with 10 different mutants were immobilized on polyacrylamide beads with monoclonal antibodies, quantified by Coomassie blue staining, and then assayed directly for T antigen-specific ATPase activity and for binding to the SV40 origin of DNA replication. Our results indicate that the T antigen coding sequences required for origin binding map between 0.54 and 0.35 map units on the SV40 genome. In contrast, sequences closer to the C terminus of T antigen (between 0.24 and 0.20 map units) are required for ATPase activity. The presence of the ATPase activity correlated closely with the ability of the mutant viruses to replicate and to transform nonpermissive cells. The origin binding activity was retained, however, by three mutants that lacked these two functions, indicating that this activity is not sufficient to support either cellular transformation or viral replication. Neither the ATPase activity nor the origin binding activity correlated with the ability of the mutant DNA to activate silent rRNA genes or host cell DNA synthesis.  相似文献

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) genome contains both cis- and trans-acting elements which are important in viral DNA replication. The cis-acting elements consist of three origins of replication: two copies of oriS and one copy of oriL. It has previously been shown that five cloned restriction fragments of HSV-1 DNA together can supply all of the trans-acting functions required for the replication of plasmids containing oriS or oriL when cotransfected into Vero cells (M. D. Challberg, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83:9094-9098, 1986). These observations provide the basis for a complementation assay with which to locate all of the HSV sequences which encode trans-acting functions necessary for origin-dependent DNA replication. Using this assay in combination with the data from large-scale sequence analysis of the HSV-1 genome, we have now identified seven HSV genes which are necessary for transient replication of plasmids containing either oriS or oriL. As shown previously, two of these genes encode the viral DNA polymerase and single-stranded DNA-binding protein, which are known from conventional genetic analysis to be essential for viral DNA replication in infected cells. The functions of the products of the remaining five genes are unknown. We propose that the seven genes essential for plasmid replication comprise a set of genes whose products are directly involved in viral DNA synthesis.  相似文献

Previous work has determined that there are nucleosomes on the herpes simplex virus (HSV) genome during a lytic infection but that they are not arranged in an equally spaced array like in cellular DNA. However, like in cellular DNA, the promoter regions of several viral genes have been shown to be associated with nucleosomes containing modified histone proteins that are generally found associated with actively transcribed genes. Furthermore, it has been found that the association of modified histones with the HSV genome can be detected at the earliest times postinfection (1 h postinfection) and increases up to 3 h postinfection. However from 3 h to 6 h postinfection (the late phase of the replication cycle), the association decreases. In this study we have examined histone association with promoter regions of all kinetic classes of genes. This was done over the time course of an infection in Sy5y cells using sucrose gradient sedimentation, bromodeoxyuridine labeling, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, Western blot analysis, trypsin and DNase digestion, and quantitative real-time PCR. Because no histones were detected inside HSV type 1 capsids, the viral genome probably starts to associate with histones after being transported from infecting virions into the host nucleus. Promoter regions of all gene classes (immediate early, early, and late) bind with histone proteins at the start of viral gene expression. However, after viral DNA replication initiates, histones appear not to associate with newly synthesized viral genomes.  相似文献
